Steve,

In addition to a bad volume control or a speaker relay that needs
attention already mentioned by others, I've also seen these units have
bad soldering at the tone and balance control pots. The unit is a
decent sounding 2 channel receiver that could give you many years of
additional service. If its worth repairing, financially speaking, is up
to you.

Hello..I have an old denon dra 425r receiver. The left channel cuts
out...for awhile playing with the vulome knob helped. I also cleaned a few
times..which also helped for awhile...but now it seems to do it more
often...Is this problem worth repairing?....I took it apart and the volume
knob looks fairly easy to replace...if that is what is where the problem is.
I have had this happen to several stereos so it must be a common problem
once they get to be older.....any help would be greatly appreciated..advice
etc...thanks
